babysparkler Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 that my ds9 has a good head on his shoulders!!! He spent the night at Bible camp with his 4th grade sunday school class this weekend. Yesterday, just before it was time to come home, he was separated from the group while getting a drink of water after a long walk through the woods. They apparently went back to the bunkhouse to packup and then to the cars to load up. Meanwhile, he was all alone in the woods for what turned out to be at least 15 minutes! He told me he was scared. He first found his way back to the bunkhouse and when he saw that everyone and all their things were gone (they had packed up the stuff to go home and were actually getting buckled in cars at the time), then he went back to the place he first got lost hopeful that someone would be there looking for him. Finally, he saw another church group in the distance, so he ran over to one of the mom chaperones and told her he was lost. She took him under her wing and found our church group. He was scared, I'm so proud of him for using his head and doing what I prepared him to do in this type of situation. The cool thing is that around the same time he was "lost," I had a sinking/worrisome feeling in my gut that I had not had all weekend, and I began praying for God's protection over him and received peace again about it. I love "mother's instinct" and it is so comforting to know that when I am not there, God is watching over him.

WTG to your son for using his head!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Kuddos to your son for doing the right thing even in the face of fear. It is amazing that God gives us the instinct to know when something is not right and our kids need us from far away. Those reminders of God's presence are amazing. Glad you son is ok, and he is probably a bit more confident in himself now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary From what I understand, they were just doing a headcount at the point when he was returned, so no... they didn't notice yet. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysparkler Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 he is probably a bit more confident in himself now too. Yes... he is. And I am so proud :D. Dh is very much like that too... I'm always impressed at how calm and collected he is in difficult situations. It is nice to know that ds is following his footsteps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
